Deal Analysis – Colorado Springs House Hack Near Downtown

August 19, 2020 • Jenny Bayless

Property Deal Analysis Overview

This deal highlight shows a house hack opportunity on the MLS.  This property is centrally located, very close to downtown Colorado Springs.  It also already has a kitchenette and second entrance, lending itself to being an easy conversion to a second living space.  Further, it is zoned appropriately at R-4 (meaning multi-family units are authorized) to allow for a 2-family set-up.

This property is available.

Agent Property Description Remarks: Remodeled turn of the century home with a fresh and modern look that can be used as a single family home or a duplex, the property is zoned R4 which adds great possibilities for an investment and additional income, highly desirable location just a few blocks from the Center of Downtown Colorado Springs, lots of entertainment, restaurants, shopping, parks and much more.

Conclusion

This property is ideal for a House Hack turned Nomad™ opportunity.  With only an assumed 5% down, conventional loan, it would be considered a breakeven cash flow opportunity.  There would be some upfront costs to partition off the separate living areas and to add to the already existing kitchenette.  Further, we assessed an 8% yearly repair/maintenance budget for this property which is very conservative since the home is recently fully-remodeled. If self-managed, the return would be even greater upon moving out.  Furthermore, the rents budgeted are on the very low end. Considering the proximity to downtown, each unit could easily get $100-150 more a month than budgeted.
